Many people report that resume from suspend-to-RAM doesn't work any
more with 2.6 kernels. Supposedly, it leaves the screen blank, with no
way to revitalize the system.

Some report that one needs to unload PCMCIA for suspend. Some report
that proper working might depend on the graphics chip. I don't have a
spare disk handy, otherwise I would make a test installation. Maybe I
can re-install my old T21 and test it there.

Cheers,
	Joachim
